Solid pins, inner and outer plates make for an economical chain choice with all the performance of higher-level X-Series chains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNickel Plated — Clean, Durable Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e Full nickel plating helps prevent corrosion and increases lubricity, helping the chain last longer, run smoother, and look cleaner throughout its service life.
